Here's the list of winners in full:

Special chievement awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films

So you don't think that a movie with an alien invasion, a super soldier, a gamma radiation green monster, a high tech flying fortress, and alien god-like beings is not sci-fi? Yes, The Avengers is based on comic books, but it is also science fiction.

What a joke the Saturn Awards are... The Avengers is way overrated and I'm surprised it has received such praise and adulation. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad movie, but wasn't all that the comic fans make it out to be.

Are you serious! Avengers isn't a romantic comedy!? Oh god, my life is a lie, I'm out of here. I suppose everyone's going to start saying that the Saturn Awards are awards for the best in science fiction, fantasy and horror, because I'm fairly sure that the Saturn Awards were for agriculture films.

Damn I didn't know there was so much hate for revolution around here. With so much shit reality tv on the networks I'm suprised we got a decent tv show that ain't law n order csisvu with criminal intent. Its probably one of my fav, currently running shows, on regular tv.
